Chapter #2Green, With Envy by: Unknown You were totally caught off-guard by the green slime in front of you. Chloe was smiling sweetly, and truth be told, if she had been human, she would look plenty cute. But the green slime was slightly off-putting to you--thoughts played in your head of green slime in movies, almost like the girl in front of you was radioactive sludge. The shock of Chloe being slime wore off quickly, as you forced a smile, deciding to suck it up, endure the date, and go back to your regular routine of daydreaming about Kim. "Hi, that's me. And you must be... Chloe, right?"
The gooey girl beamed as she sat across from you--well, sitting was a stretch. Her matter seemed to just collapse onto the chair and re-form in place to a humanoid body. "Yes, I am! It's so pleasant to finally meet you. Some of my friends talk about you quite a bit! And I can finally put a face to their stories." As skeptical as you had been at the start, as you made small talk it was hard to deny that Chloe was a cheery, pleasant girl. The mutual friends that set up the date kept insisting that there was no one with as bright of an outlook on life as Chloe, she always seemed to find a way to please her friends. They did keep one detail from you, however... Chloe was a bit of the jealous type, and when she became envious of people, she'd find ways to include herself in the affairs of others.
"So I'm not really well-versed in slimes, can you actually eat? Can you taste?" You kept asking questions like this as the pizza arrived at your table, treating Chloe more like a science experiment than a date. Her expression with each question sank a little, although she kept up her cheery tone. She seemed to have already developed an infatuation with you--reaching out to touch your hand, staring into your eyes, but she was starting to see that something was holding you back from really connecting with her.
Kim.
The memory of your ex lingered in your mind the whole time. She was a beautiful woman through and through, with shapely legs and hips, a nice set of D-cups, and flowing light brunette hair that framed her adorable face, which grew even cuter when she smiled. The days and nights spent with her were impossible to let go of. Kim wasn't nearly as interested in the relationship though, she was about as interested in you as you seemed to be with Chloe. An amusing thought popped into your head, that if Kim had Chloe's personality and infatuation, it'd be the perfect match...
"...and then that's how I disintegrated into nothingness and vanished off the face of the earth. Are you even listening to me...?" Chloe frowned, her voice cracking a little as she asked it. You snapped out of your daydream, and turned to meet the slime girl's gaze. "Oh, uh, sorry. I have to be honest, though. I don't think this is going to work out, I just..." you trailed off, not wanting to hurt Chloe but not wanting to drag this out either. "I gotta go. I've already paid for the pizza, you can take it home if you want."
Chloe watched you get up, shuffle to the door, and leave. At first, she sighed dejectedly, losing her humanoid shape briefly as she sank in her seat. I like him but it's like I'm invisible... she thought to herself, before she sprang right back to her feminine form. Suddenly she smiled, filled with determination. She really did like him, and she knew she could make him like her too, somehow! This wasn't over, not by a longshot. A slime like her had plenty of tricks, and all she had to do was follow you back to your apartment and give you a reason to love her. This was one slime that didn't give up!
Chloe hurried out of the restaurant, trailing after you from a distance. She could easily hide and morph, so when she thought you were on to her, she'd slip into a bush or under a car or wherever else, before continuing her pursuit. She tracked you all the way up to the floor of your apartment, and then after a few moments she slipped under the door, green ooze spreading out and forming a head to look around. What did she see?  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
